where are the fathers of the faith

what has happened to our father's of the faith!I recently was used by the holy spirit to show 2x ladies to the lord them. This lady was a madam of an escort agency and hated God with a passion, but jesus came into her life and changed her. so much so that we had a prayer meeting and one of the working girls re-dedicated her life to the lord and quit the industry. What hurts me is that the churches around the area threw eggs and flowers at these girls and humiliated them were ever they went. We must meet people were they are at. My heart aches to see our brothers and sisters unable to read and interpret the word of God the way it has been written. i have met in the last week so many pastors of churchs that either fleshly condem people or read certain scripures litteraly with out a spiritual mind set. When delivering the law of God, it must be with the guidence of the holy spirit because only then it will break down the strongholds in their lives, if it is not done this way then you will cause bitterness and resentment. Through out my years of witnessing the lord has taught me to see a persons heart and then give a word that is right for that person. Without the holyspirit in my heart you can unwisely give the wrong anwser.by the way the madam has now given up the industry, works with young street girls and is reading the bible every day and learning to love the way christ wanted to and yes she is now understanding the law through the love shown to her.Where is our fathers of the faith

the lord help us , i have had the same looks when i have bought homeless people into church in canterbury, I once heard a story of a cleaner that got saved, we can all be guilty of it. a pastor said that she could not join the church The cleaning women (Source http://rinah--shalom.tripod.com/id83.html)There was a little old cleaning woman that went to the local church. When the invitation was given at the end of the service, she went forward, wanting to become a member. The pastor listened as she told him how she had accepted Yashua and wanted to be baptized and become a member of the church.The pastor thought to himself, "oh my, she is so unkempt, even smells a little, and her fingernails are not clean. She picks up garbage, cleans toilets - what would the members think of her." He told her that she needed to go home and pray about it and then decide.The following week she came again. She told the pastor that she had prayed about it and still wanted to be baptized. "I have passed this church for so long. It is so beautiful, and I truly want to become a member."Again the pastor told her to go home and pray some more. A few weeks later while out eating at the restaurant, the pastor saw the little old lady. He did not want her to think that he was ignoring her so he approached her and said, "I have not seen you for a while. Is everything all right?""Oh, yes," she said. "I talked with Yashua, and he told me not to worry about becoming a member of your church.""He did?" said the pastor."Oh, yes" she replied. "He said even He hasn't been able to get into your church yet, though He's been trying for years."we can all be guilty Dom , I feel so sorry for the pastor

greeting to all in our lordseeing the responses to my post was very encouraging, this site attracts those of us that are founded in the real roots of christianity. I live in Crocodile country Australia, the lord is so willing to work in those that can see past their own fleshly judgments and help spiritual open fortified hearts. My work is hard sometimes because i wish that there were old men around me that had a deeper walk with jesus, that could mentor me sometimes durring the spiritual hard trials. Unfortunatly they are becoming rare because of the new flimsy fads that bombard our church. I thank God that a mature christian man taught me to read the old books of christians because there faith withstood trials and error and remained strong. about ten years ago i tried to help a women who had spiritual problems but failed and the women became worse, as a result i walk out into a field and screamed at my lord and said " if you send me amongst an enemy i cannot see i will walk not do your work again" the lord saw past my words and heard my heart. 4 weeks later the lord gave me a gift to see peoples hearts in the spirit realm, my life and ministry changed from that day. Now if i see someone i can see past the barriers of the their flesh and see where they are hurting or the strongholds that bind them. but out of all this i must remember every one needs the lord and i must work to help people to find him whether proffessing christians or not. with compassionate love Crusader a bit about myself
